Mg-Justice Magic, of the New Jersey Supreme
Court, has ruled that no landowner has right
to erect any wire fence without taking into con-
sideration the natural habits of the animals that
are likely to be kept in the adjoining field, "their
habits in their playfulness, their disposition to
stray, even their disposition to break through
and that any fence which is likely from the habits
of the animals to produce injury to them, is illegal
and the persons erecting it liable for the damage
it does.
We copy the above from an exchange and
heartily endorse the ruling of the Judge on the
subject. We believe there is law in Maryland
bearing upon this AFTER but we have never it.

The rress on the Richardson Case.


The offence for which Richardson was convicted
was very grave one. A respect for those charged
with the administration of law is almost insepara-
BILE from respect for the law itself, and therefore
whatever tends to degrade the judiciary of our
State tends to bring the law itself into contempt
and is blow at the foundations of society. The
liberty of the press is of the best safeguards Of
our system of free government, but the license OF
the press is an entirely different thing The edi-
torship Of newspaper should not exempt q man
from responsibility for his utterances, whether
printed or otherwise, and while we are ready to
defend the freedom of the press we have no SYM
pathy for editors who use their newspapers as
vehicles for libeing their neighbors. In this case
as the evidence showed, the assaults made upon
Judge Fowler in the Peoples Voice were without
any foundation in point of fact, and had not the
Aimsy excuse, even, of having been written and
published in the heat of political campaign.
Ellicoa City Progress.
Editor William II. Richardson, of the People,.
Voice, Towsontown has been sentenced to two
years in the county Jail and to pay fine of $500
for repeated libels upon Judge Fowler. 1t seems
that Richardson's humilating apology, made some
time since through his paper, has not gone far to-
ward mitigating his sentence.
